Use Windows 11 accessibility and typing settings to eliminate most keyboard-related sounds.
- Open keyboard accessibility settings:
- Press Windows logo key + U to open Accessibility settings.
- Select Keyboard.
- Turn off the following (if they are on):
- Toggle keys (plays a sound when pressing Caps Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock)
- Any other keyboard feedback options that produce sounds.
- Check typing/text features that may give audio feedback:
- Press Windows logo key + I to open Settings.
- Go to Time & language > Typing.
- Review options such as text suggestions or other typing aids; disable anything that might be providing sound feedback.
- If the issue is with system audio alerts (for example, when a key is held or an invalid key combo is pressed), switch to visual instead of audio alerts:
- Open Settings > Accessibility > Audio.
- Under Flash my screen during audio notifications, choose a visual option so notifications are shown visually instead of relying on sound.
After changing these settings, test typing again. If sounds persist, also check any vendor-specific keyboard or audio utility that may be preinstalled by the laptop manufacturer, as those can add their own keypress sounds outside of Windows settings.
